Pet Sitting in Efland

“We were only gone for just a little over 24 hours but this was our first time using Rover and we were anxious about leaving our babies to a stranger! Immediately upon meeting Deb she assuaged those worries and felt like a family member that loves them as much as we do. She sent pictures for each drop-in visit with little updates about how they were doing and when we got back we could tell their little bowls had been cleaned and they had been well taken care of. Thank you Deb <3”

“Sarah took excellent care of my cat Orson while we were away. She quickly responds to messages and even alerted me when she noticed the slightest change in my cat’s behavior. We 1000% recommend Sarah and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future. Thank you Sarah :)”

About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I am an experienced, caring, and trustworthy petsitter. But don't take my word for it! Here's what others have said: "Meredith truly cared about my pets, and I felt completely at ease being away. As someone who’s very picky about who takes care of my dogs, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter." "Meredith brought peace of mind, warmth, and reliability to our home. I’d trust her with our pets anytime." "Her calm energy and loving nature were exactly what our anxious rescue needed." "Meredith was fantastic. She cared for our home and animals as if they were her own." I’d love the opportunity to care for YOUR pets and your home! Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a house full of beloved cats and dogs, and I’ve raised several pets of my own as an adult, so caring for animals is truly second nature. I started pet sitting professionally in my 20s and recently returned to it with renewed passion and dedication. I now have over 7 years of direct pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of hands-on care with animals of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. As a responsible, organized, and nurturing high school English teacher with 20 years in the classroom, I bring calm attentiveness and excellent communication to every sit. I’m also a devoted mom to two kind-hearted, respectful animal lovers (ages 8 and 11), who may occasionally accompany me depending on the arrangement. If they do, rest assured they are gentle, supervised, and bring extra love to the experience. Whether it's administering medication to a senior pet, giving special attention to a rescue, or sticking to your pet’s unique routines and needs, I approach every sit with genuine care and commitment. I’m also experienced in basic training, gentle leash walking, and giving animals the calm, consistent presence they need to feel safe. If you have houseplants, I’ve got you covered there, too. I worked in my family’s garden center for years and enjoy keeping plants healthy and thriving. While I’m newer to this platform, I take each sit seriously and treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs of any kind, and I always bring my own groceries and supplies. Communication is clear before, during, and after the stay, and you'll receive regular updates to give you peace of mind. I’m in a meaningful season of transition and using this time to do something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals while exploring new places. This work blends my love of travel and nurturing in a way that reflects my values. If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect virtually or in person, when possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.

“Amanda was wonderful! She was prompt and very communicative. She took great care of our pets while we were on vacation. We would definitely use her again!”

“Susan is a wonderful pet sitter! She is conscientious, detailed, and communicative. Susan goes above and beyond to provide quality care. I have worked with Susan multiple times to care for my shy cat requiring medication and my adventurous kitten. She meets both of their individual needs and keeps me updated. I highly recommend Susan!”

“As usual, Kimberly took great care of our kitties. She will always be my first choice, when she is available. My cats are always so content when I get home. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved animals! I have two cats and three dogs who mean so much to me! I will definitely treat your pups as I do my own :) I have some experience volunteering with a local nonprofit where I worked with veterans training dogs to become service animals. I also have experience pet/house sitting for friends and family. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your loved ones! I will be available for walks and drop in visits from 11am-3pm Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My weekends are usually open for house sitting. I am ready to adapt to your dogs routine and I will be sure to take the very best care of your pets and homes if an overnight stay is requested.

About: I have a special need child and have lots of patience. I have taken care of dogs,cats,elderly folks an gotten many certifications including first aid and CPR. I have a dog, and I am his person. I am retired and looking for something to do. Since I love dogs, cats and all kinds of animals, I know I would take care of your fur babies well. My dog is a loving dog, and I love walking around my neighborhood. I watch my neighbor's dog, and she loves hanging out with me. I also have taken care of my other neighbor's dog and cat, and they said their old cat didn't like anyone but she trusts and like me.

About: Hey y'all, I grew up with dogs and had a dog of my own until recently when she passed. I've also spent time on lots of friends farms for fun, doing chores, and farm-sitting for them. I have experience with goats, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats! This means I know how to interact with lots of different personalities including wary and hyperactive animals. I'm also not afraid of handling messy situations. :) I moved to the Triangle for a paralegal job at a non-profit that works on cleaning up coal ash across the southeast. Years ago I left that job to run a small business and farm. I love my work and living in Hillsborough, and am grateful for a fully flexible schedule! I pet, house, and farm sit a couple of times a year and would be happy to do so for you! Honestly, this is a bit of a selfish endeavor as I would like to be able to spend more time with some floof friends. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks! Jenna I work full time as a self-employed farmer, but my schedule is extremely flexible. I live in town and lease land less than ten minutes away. It is my habit to work early in the morning and later in the day, coming home for the middle portion of the day to avoid the heat. I'm easily able to tailor my schedule to your pet's needs! My apartment is a very lucky setup. I effectively have a private entrance to my place, two fenced areas for dogs, as well as being a two minute walk from a park and public dog park with two additional fences areas. Also, I live alone but have two bedrooms, so the apartment itself is spacious.

About: I have been taking care of my friends and neighbors pets for a few years now, and they always come back! I have always befriended animals quite quickly and have never had a bad experience with any pets! I'm currently have lots of free time! I am able to stop by for longer visits; making sure your pets are less stressed! While I'm there, they will receive lots of attention and pets! I do a very good job of following the instructions to a T. I have never lost a pet and only ever treat the pets with the same love I treat my own.

“Puppy loved our first drop-in visit with Victoria (his first visit with a sitter or stranger in the house ever!) & looks forward to some play time and walkies in the near future. Victoria was on-time, respectful and friendly. We were at home, this was a meet & greet.”

About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew. I enjoy house sitting as I’ve realized pet are usually more comfortable in their own homes. I have the ability to bathe, walk, feed, and of course play with your pets! I am a part time college student doing majority of my classes online. For the time being my schedule is an empty open book waiting to be filled! I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me! If they enjoy the car, cuddling up for a movie, stores, parks, or even just being in the backyard you name it and I’d love to make it happen! They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.

“Once again, Kari does a great job of checking in on my 4 legged family member when I was out of town this past weekend. Kari did a great job the last time she did a check in and she is consistent once again. She is conscientious and kept in touch with me during the visit. I recommend Kari's services without hesitation and I will contact her in the future if I go out of town again. Keep up the great work, Kari.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life—owning both personally! I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to hang out, play with, and take care of your precious doggo or gatos! I have a spacious apartment with tons of room to lounge in. It has a huge comfy couch that pets are welcome to nap on. My complex also has a large, quiet, rarely-used dog enclosure that’s perfect for throwing the ball and getting some exercise in. I also live near the River Walk in downtown Hillsborough, which is perfect for sunny walks.

“Alex did a great job looking after our cats. Would definitely request his help again!”

About: My family got our first dog when I was 13 years old. My husband and I fostered 14 dogs from 2020-2022 and failed with 2 of them because we kept them forever. I am excited to be a part of the Rover community, so that I can give lots of love and attention to pups in need! I'm a teacher who has time in the afternoon and on weekends. I would love to use that time to give attention to your dog! My dogs play in a fenced backyard. One is reactive, so I’m use to following routines and setting structures to keep everyone safe. I sleep with my dogs, so if that’s what yours like- I’m happy to do that.
